When a new couple took over my local pub last year, they split the village* |
| 15 |
beer drinkers down the middle by enforcing a no-swearing policy. Now all |
| 16 |
those men who can't say anything without an f*** every other word go to the |
| 17 |
other main pub, leaving the one I use to those who can. Trade has soared, |
| 18 |
and local people have been appearing who were never seen in a pub before. |

Winners all round. |
